You are right, too many people think that essence(ing) is something to be gotten, and don't want to take responsibility or do the ongoing work of essence-ING. We are human becomings (not human beings) and the brains that think, change themselves, so we shift and reorganise our 'self' through our thoughts, feelings and actions. And in that way we are wonderfully condemned to freedom! :-)Grant Soosaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926109399246162045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601498033460501328.post-42952891490797890492015-01-27T04:25:11.988+11:002015-01-27T04:25:11.988+11:00I teach essence work~and in our teachings essence ...I teach essence work~and in our teachings essence is not fixed. It's a transformational process. Like you said, it's simply a reorganizing, rearranging and restructuring, but we need a healthy mind to respond to and actualize the potent expression of that movement, that's our responsibility, to give it legs! Unfortunately too many folks are in a pipe dream reality thinking essence is some-thing to be gotten; like vanilla! Essence in my world is that which continues without the body. It's a matter of the soul~ that place in-between mind and matter. Call it consciousness if you will. I am intrigued with your book~will take a look, thanks!Kim Lincolnhttp://www.terrainofessence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601498033460501328.post-52134557545643663052013-12-30T20:19:32.263+11:002013-12-30T20:19:32.263+11:00Hey Annie, thanks for your lovely comment. Really ...Hey Annie, thanks for your lovely comment. Really appreciate your thoughts and feedback. So many people want to believe in some platonic 'Essence' and in doing so, don't realise just how much choice and control they give up. The analogy of building a house, along with the understanding of how at the very base quantum level upwards the appearance of essence is just due to the organising and arranging of structuring and process, will hopefully open some peoples minds to the understanding that there is no 'essence' to any 'thing' in the world, including humans. We are inherently creative, just like the universe (not surprisingly), and we are condemned to the freedom of creating ourselves in an ongoing flow through our lives. But with that freedom comes the responsibility (and response-ability) to do our creating of our selves and our world wisely!<br /><br />Thanks again for reading the blog and leaving a comment!<br /><br />smiles, GrantGrant Soosaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926109399246162045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601498033460501328.post-79857035278939626962013-12-30T20:03:55.255+11:002013-12-30T20:03:55.255+11:00What a great blog.

They said some great things, and they got lost a lot too! With today's scientific understandings about the nature of reality and about how the human mind and body works, there is much of what they said that has been shown to be in error. Which is why I like science to inform my behavioral modeling and my philosophy.<br /><br />And you make a truly great point. We've all known people who have become totally different through making different choices in life. They decided in 'essence' to rearrange the timber that makes up the houses of themself and their life, and over time they grew different brains and became different humans as a result. As Humberto Maturana likes to point out, we aren't human beings, we are human becomings!<br /><br />Thanks again for reading the blog and taking the time to share a comment and your thoughts. I truly appreciate it.<br /><br />smiles, GrantGrant Soosaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926109399246162045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601498033460501328.post-41222037093426633102013-12-30T01:47:53.412+11:002013-12-30T01:47:53.412+11:00Grant, you make me glad I've never taken the t...Grant, you make me glad I've never taken the time to study the 'gang of three'! I like that expression 'current arranging,' which brings to mind the many people I've known who have become totally different people through the making of different choices in life or, as you put it, 'authoring their self-ing' or 'directing their becoming.'
